 5/5

This epic story was beautiful written, it's a masterpiece! 
While reading Kristin Hannah's work, you are immersed into the story; as emotional and difficult it can be to read about war, heartbreak, parent's sacrifice, death, you won't regret reading this book.

This is one of the best books I’ve ever read and will never read it again. It is a deeply moving story of every form of love and how it’s impacted by the terrors of war, loss, and grief. I have never read a more powerful or heartbreaking love story.
